Shooting with the AE Lock

When the AE lock is used, you can meter the exposure and focus independently. Use this function when you need to change the image composition after you have set the exposure setting.

1Turn the Mode Dial to the position. Press the DISPLAY button to turn on the LCD monitor.

2Aim the camera so that the subject you wish to meter is centered in the LCD monitor.

3Press and hold the shutter button halfway while you press the SET button.

•The AE lock will take effect and the LCD monitor will display an asterisk (*) close to its center. The exposure setting will now be maintained even if you release the shutter button.

4Compose the image and shoot.

•The camera will focus on the object at the center of the viewfinder.

•The AE lock will release if you press a button other than the shutter button or if you turn the Mode Dial. The AE lock will also automatically release if the power save function activates.

Setting the Exposure Metering Method

Although the exposure metering method is normally set to the Center-weighted mode, you can change it to the spot mode and record an image.

Center-Weighted: measures the average light from the entire image area, weighting the value of the light detected at the center of the viewfinder more heavily.

Spot: measures the light from the center of the field only. Use this option when the subject is backlit or surrounded by bright light.

1Turn the Mode Dial to the position. Press the DISPLAY button to turn on the LCD monitor.
